INTRODUCTION

This tutorial is aimed at photographic beginners who have just 
bought their first reasonable camera and require some help to
realise it`s full potential. You could also be a camera owner 
who has been generally disappointed, and could do with a few
tips.

Remember, compacts, even the more expensive zoom types, are meant
for personnal record photography. That, they generally do very
well. They are also meant to be used with colour print film.

Should you become very interested in photography, or have 
specialised interests, such as sport, or birds, a compact will 
not do. You must buy, and learn to use correctly, a 35 m SLR with
the appropriate lenses and other accessories. They are rather 
expensive, unless you find a second hand bargain - and there are 
plenty of those about resulting from people who have to own the 
latest. Make sure you get a guarantee, then test the gear very 
quickly.   Do not buy gear that has obviously had professional
use !

Should you become more interested, there are a growing number of
tutorials in this series to help you.


Using the pull down menu, and by clicking on the boxes on each 
page, you can move through the tutorial as you wish. The `flick 
through the pages` feature on the pull down menu, allows you to 
come back at a later date for a refresher if required.
